How to make a splash screen

Question

Hello everyone,
I am trying to make a kind of splash screen.
I use JWindow for this and it works well.
My problem is, that I need to make the background of the screen "non-opaque". So only the image I add will be shown, without the background rectangle.
I search for something like setOpaque(false) method in class JButton.
But there is no such method for this class.
I would be very happy if you could help me.

I tried this,
but it does not help. The background is being shown.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class SSB extends JWindow
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new SSB();
     public SSB()
          super();
          this.setBounds(20,20,300,300);
          MyContainer c = new MyContainer();
          c.setOpaque(false);
          this.setContentPane(c);
          this.show();
     class MyContainer extends JComponent
          MyContainer()
               super();
